Study notes are a total waste. Just read the book 1-2 times and write the exam right after. Don't delay. Make sure to do all the quizzes.

Thanks for your reply. Those quizzes are found on the CSI site, right? Are those the actual questions that will appear on the exam? I am thinking about the study notes because I want to save some reading time.

I kinda over-estimated the first test and ended up reading everything, but not the second. There's some pretty specific material in there, but you'll pass on the strength of the fundamentals (60% to pass).

If you've studied business in university, the only limitation to your passing the tests is being able to book the date... all the good times are usually booked for a few weeks in advance.

Dont bother with the "csc check" made by csi. It sucks. Its an online mock exam that gives you feedback in each question. Sounds like a good idea but the questions aren't random or diverse enough to make it worthwhile.
